Today I thought I'd share with you a little DIY that I shot a few weeks ago along with my glamorous and rather wonderful assistant Kate {she's the bees knees - you can follow her awesomeness here} .

I'd been 'umm'ing & aaa'ing' about whether or not to purchase some of these plain wooden IKEA drawers that everyone seems to have for what felt like an eternity - until I saw this post by my little pal Hazel. That made my mind up that these drawers were capable of great things.

Kate & I got a set each and used only a few simple supplies and a mere THREE even simpler steps...

| you will need |

acrylic paints {colours + white}

paintbrush

washi/masking tape

paint roller (optional)

sand paper (optional)

ONE: paint your drawers and the outside of the unit white {we used a roller for speed and an even coat of paint}. Once dry we sanded a little to get a smooth finish - you don't have to do this if you're not feeling it.

TWO: mask out your desired shape or pattern with tape {we got so involved we forgot to take a snap...but its pretty self explanatory, so soz!}

THREE: paint your pattern on & allow to dry.

Then you're done - and you have yourself a super awesome and really very handy little set of drawers that look much prettier than before! TA DA!

So there you have it! The best part is that you can swap the drawers round whenever you like to switch up the pattern...good times!
